AOL bastards...

The conflict with Trillian has finally caught up with me, as I can't connect on it.

Anyone have any luck connection with Trillian, or am I banished back to AIM?

The scoop

AOL has actively tried to shut down Trillian users

Link from Metafilter

From the Trillian site here's the fix:

Many of you reported difficulty connecting to AOL this morning, and the fix is to go into your preferences (Prefs->AIM->Misc) and turn off the "Activate SecureIM Capabilities" feature.

NOTE: If you still cannot login and receive a "you've logged in too many times" error, wait 5-10 minutes for the flag to clear on the servers.

We are working on re-activating SecureIM as soon as possible. Note that it appears to still work under ICQ at the moment.

Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Also it mentions they've fixed the bug with the new release. Hope this helps.
